Reunion #2: Pizza, Movie and Coffee with Charity

High school life, oh my high school life
Ev'ry memory, kay ganda
High school days, oh my high school days

Are exciting, kay saya!

I think, I’ll probably agree with Sharon here. And to add, my friends from high school are my most trusted ones. They knew me from being the gawky teenage kid to a stubborn college student to being an independent professional. They’ve seen me give up on my dream, pursue another path, stumble and persevere.

We went to different schools. Pursued different careers. But at the end of the day, for the last 12 years, we are still friends. With them, we can call in the middle of the night for our broken hearts, we can have someone proofread our thesis, we have someone who’ll pay our online purchase, we can count on someone for financial help, we have someone when we just want to rant about our work, we have someone who’ll listen on family tralala and the list goes on and on.

But no, our relationship is hardly perfect. There are times when we just say No to a get-together/bonding because we already have different priorities.

Initially, our plan was to meet in our province, and just visit our old school and perhaps, reminisce. But we’ve done that before.

For this year, we weren’t able to plan an out-of-town trip. So we decided to meet in Trinoma and watch a movie. I insisted on watching Rosario, btw. Haha. Unfortunately, Chie, Alona and Liza didn't make it. =( We were joined by Raisa (Meri's sister), Shali (Roma's friend) and Cris (Diane's friend) instead.

So, I was two hours late, and when I arrived we just talked for few minutes and decided to eat. The first option was in Yakimix but it was tooo expensive. Remember, I’m a cheapskate. =p So we opted to eat in Bigoli. They have unlimited garlic sticks! Haha!

We ordered their food package plus a pan of pizza. For the 6 of us, we only incurred around 1,400php. =)

Then we watched Rosario. We went to Starbucks in SM North Edsa after, and stayed there for few hours to talk about life, love and relationships (and the lack of it, in my case!).
